"Off-dry hints of peach and apple are offset by vibrant acidity in this Riesling." - 86/100

Wine Folly
According to page 158 of Wine Folly, Rieslings often have notes of lime,
green apple, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum. I didn't get beeswax or jasmine on this wine, but I definitely got lime and green apple. I also got a distinct minerally flavor that might have been petroleum, but I'm not familiar with what that a petroleum flavor tastes like in wine.
Personal Review
Like many other rieslings I've tasted, this wine smelled like lime and green apple. It didn't taste as much like green apple, but it was still limey with an acidic, mineral note added on. This wine was a bit too minerally for my taste and lacked some complexity, but it's still worth trying if you particularly enjoy acidic, mineral notes.
